Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are legends. They are funny women and I’m glad to see women have some weight in Hollywood. That said, someone gave these two too long of a leash for such an indulgent ego project. Tina’s bizarre accent sounds like a little girl telling a “He-man Woman Haters” joke and forgot how to speak normally again midway through. The rest of the inside jokes are simply lost on the audience. Pell is poignant at times, no surprise there, but the weirdness of the whole thing is cringe inducing. I sat through the whole thing on the appeal of these women alone, but “heartily recommend” is not on the table with this project. I look forward to the next.
